[Reply] [No Email] There are a few who go do things diffrently from the average.Red could have punched a clock in a refinery untill now.But who would have heard of him? I admire those who do things that the average do not attempt.Red was one of a kind.

A Texan died and ascended into Heaven. St. Peter met himand welcomedhim saying "You will certainly enjoy Paradise."The Texan shook his head sadly and said "I always thoughtthat TEXASwas Paradise."St. Peter said "Well, let me show you what we have tooffer." He tookthe Texan to an area that had a beautiful river flowingthrough it withwildlife and flowers everywhere. "Isn't this beautiful?"said St. PeterThe Texan replied, "Yes, but not as pretty as the areaaround SAN ANTONIO."Somewhat ruffled, St. Peter took him to another area wherethere wererolling hills, whitetail deer and bluebonnets and IndianPaintbrusheverywhere. "Now" said St. Peter "Have you ever seenanything so wonderful?"The Texan paused and said "Yes, it is beautiful but it doesnot hold acandle to the TEXAS HILL COUNTRY in the springtime."Becoming more upset, St. Peter then took the Texan to abeautiful whitebeach, with gentle waves, and an azure sky. "Now have youseenanything this beautiful in Texas" said St. Peter.The Texan smiled and said "I guess you've never been toSOUTH PADREISLAND".At this point, St. Peter took the Texan to a large rock. Onthe side ofthe rock was a huge iron door. St. Peter opened the doorand theystepped into an elevator and started going down. As theydescended, it grew more and more hot. When the elevatordoor open, it revealed the fires ofdamnation-Hell. St. Peter said "Now, have you got anythingin Texas thatcan top that?" The Texan thought a moment and shook hishead. "No, but I know an ole boy from HOUSTONthat can put that thing out for you."
